Optically transparent films can comprise a coating of nanodiamonds to introduce desirable properties, such as hardness, good thermal conductivity and an increased dielectric constant. In general, transparent conductive films can be formed with desirable property enhancing nanoparticles included in a transparent conductive layer and/or in a coating layer. Property enhancing nanoparticles can be formed from materials having a large hardness parameter, a large thermal conductivity and/or a large dielectric constant. Suitable polymers are incorporated as a binder in the layers with the property enhancing nanoparticles. The coatings with property enhancing nanoparticles can be solution coated and corresponding solutions are described.
An optical structure comprising a transparent substrate, a transparent conductive layer and a transparent coating comprising a polymer binder and nanodiamonds wherein the transparent coating has an average thickness from about 25 nm to about 25 microns and has no more than about 10 weight percent nanodiamonds, wherein the nanodiamonds have an average particle diameter of no more than about 50 nm, wherein the haze of the optical structure increases by no more than about 1 percent relative to an equivalent optical structure without the nanodiamonds, wherein the polymer binder comprises crosslinked acrylic resin, and wherein the transparent conductive layer comprises a sparse metal conductive element and a polymer binder and wherein the transparent coating is in direct contact with the transparent conductive layer.
